Hi just wondering do ye buy a present for your kids as well as santa?? I have 3 kids and they usually buy a gift for each other, 2 of them go together and get something for the other one. But this yr I'm thinking of giving them a gift from mammy and daddy. Sorry for long probably stupid post.... x

Normally no but I was wrapping presents with Dc the other day and they asked will me and oh be wrapping a present for them when they go to bed so I just took something from Santa stuff for both of them. Went to blanch last week and dd had 10 and she wanted to but her daddy a present( said she couldn't buy me one because I'd see what she was buyin) so she picked up a gun set that she can play with him. Not sure when to give our present though. We go to the Phoenix park on Xmas eve to feed the reindeers before Santa calls for them then home, shower, tea, movie and bed hopefully by 8.

My two are too young yet but my friend always brings her kids to the bookshop on Xmas eve and let's them pick out 4 or 5 books and then when they go home they have their Christmas box with pjs, Christmas dvd etc. Everything else then is from Santa. I'll prob start doing that from next year.

yes I do and I plan to give them Christmas eve and presents to keep them amused. I was incredibly proud of ds last week when he asked to go to the shop without his sisters cause he wanted to buy them presents from his own money.

We have a little party xmas eve and dh and I exchange gifts and the kids give each other little gifts. No gifts from us to them thats all santa. Dd bought ds pressie at the school book fair and has it hidden in her bedroom!
